No biggie.\r\n\r\nShape the world how you like. Have a play around. When you get the conditions right, life will evolve.\r\n\r\nThis game is a simple, relaxing puzzle game in which you maniplate the landscape and weather in an attempt to evolve intelligent life. Alternatively you can just make a world that looks and sounds nice, it's in your hands.\r\n\r\n**\r\nCompo version you can evolve as far as birds (fauna) and trees (flora). Control is the mouse.\r\n\r\nI've searched for bugs for the last couple of hours and it seems good to me. However, I have been awake for a long time and have been drinking beer so I may have missed something.\r\n\r\nAnyway, hope you enjoy playing God!!<\/p>","title":"God Called in Sick Today"}
